Thats why Medea choose Tokisada among her martians and the saints under Mars' command to be the Aquarius Saint. Because he IS strong enough to fit the cloth.

It seems she also wanted to prevent a betrayal like others gold saints did and put some magical trap in order to whipe out everyone on Aquarius' cloth.

Also, I don't think Sonia is weak as some people say. So far he was the only character that managed to land a hit on a gold saint and make one bleed. Mykene. The one who didn't get hurt from Haruto and Souma but just only a little scratch on his cloth.

I don't think she's weak, I just wonder if she's Gold Saint level, I mean if she was, Souma should have been no problem to her. I just wonder about the how of it.

She didn't deserve being a Gold Saint. She failed at preventing Eden from turning on his dad. She almost got whipped by Lionet Soma. Maybe she's a sacrfice to try to turn Eden back. He sees Lionet Soma whack her, gets angry and turns on the group.

Who said anything about she deserving it? The fact remains: she is the Scorpio Saint like some of us predicted before. And I only stating my excitement that we got two female Gold Saints now, something other SS series don't have .

The animation this week was extremely disappointing. A Gold vs Gold battle deserved better than that.

I would say it's more of a retcon than a cop-out. I was shocked to learn Genbu was Dohko's final student. It was never hinted that Dohko had other students. I assume Genbu was training to get the Libra cloth from the start and not the Dragon one.

Making Shiryu the previous Libra saint is the real cop-out. Until now, he was only called the guardian of the cloth and we always saw him wearing the dragon cloth in the flashbacks. They probably changed this at the last minute to appease the fans. I'm sure they'll do the same for Hyouga.

I hope Tokisada isn't gone, because so far he's the only Gold Saint without a proper backstory (other than showing up for 2 seconds to murder Haruto's friend) and there's too much unanswered about what just happened .
I mean, who is he? Was he really evil? Then why the cloth had to manipulate him to kill? What was the point? And what's with the Aquarius cloth, anyway? There's no reason for it to be evil..

It just said the Libra cloth choose him as an user previously, which could be a callback to the Poseidon and Hades arcs. I mean, even if Shiryu fought against Mars wearing Dragon, they can't just erase those facts.

No, he clearly said Shiryu was supposed to be the Libra saint. He mentioned Shiryu's name alongside Dohko and his own, and he later added that:

"Because Shiryu can't move anymore, I now wear this cloth in his stead to uphold his ideals".

Shiryu always been Dragon, he only acted as Genbu's stand-in as Libra, because Genbu wasn't strong enough before, due not applying himself enough.
Then, after the whole first Mars debacle, Genbu did decide to train and apply himself, and the Libra Cloth did recognize him as worthy

- Still no Umakoshi episode up to ep43
- Ep40 = Souma vs Scorpio Sonia
- Ep41 = Haruto and Ryuuho vs Aquarius Tokisada (Kouga and Yuna advance to the Sagittarius House but it is empty)
- Ep42 = Kouga vs Capricorn Ionia (written by Reiko Yoshida)
- Ep43 = Everyone vs Pisces Amor (final Gold Saint)
- Pisces Amor has a special ability which incapacitates everyone, and summons the Four Great Kings of Mars, elite troops who fought Seiya and his allies in the great war (probably the dudes in the OP?)

(The Newtype summaries actually have a typo for ep43, where they spell the name of the Gold Saint differently - once as アモール (Amor) and once as アムール (Amour). Not sure which one is correct, but it shouldn't matter much in English since it's pretty similar.)

Actually duckroll, it actually says only Kouga gets "inabilitated" by Amo(u)r. I bet the other 4 will be busy fighting the Four Mini-Bosses.

Probably. RIP anyway! Lolz. I wonder if we'll even see another Umakoshi episode before the climax... or even at all.

Spoiler for Episode 43:

In the other scan I saw, I think it's Animedia or Animage or something, it says that for ep43, there are 3 hours left until the end of the world. So I guess they're really going to be dragging the entire Gold Saint arc to the end. They'll probably get to Mars right before time runs out, and that'll be about ep48 or 49. Lulz.

To be perfectly fair to Umakoshi, he also disappeared for nearly 20 episodes in Heartcatch Precure and then he came back and was AD for the 2 final episodes.

Spoiler for 43:

Kouga gets kindapped by Amour, who sends him to Medea. The other 4 have to fight the 4 Heavenly Kings to rescue him. Then they get back on track to save Earth and Saori after another 2 episodes of wandering!
